There are 2 suggestions I would make:

1. Try a different internal address in your C-more project. Just 1 single Numeric Display addressed to DM0. When I do a search of the error you are getting, I see text that says: "Data cannot be changed " which seems like an addressing error.

2. Some of the Omron Ethernet setups are 'picky ' about the station number in conjunction with the last octet of the IP address. I would change the setup to make My Station Number to 6 (matching the last octet of the C-more panel) and the Station Number to 1 (matching the last octet of the Omron Ethernet setup).

Solved!

Hi jackson,

Thank you for your suggestions.

Your latter suggestion did the trick. When I matched the last octet of the C-more IP address with it's unit number for FINS, everything started working.

I have confirmed that this works for both the EA7 and EA9 panels.

Thanks again!

Thanks for letting everyone know which suggestion worked for you. Many times people never check back in and you don't know if your suggestion worked or not.

Thanks Jackson for the good suggestions.

I am trying to get a C-more EA7-T8C or EA9-T8CL communicating with an Omron CJ2M-CPU31 via the FINS Ethernet driver.

Has anyone tried this before? Cmore to CJ2 ?

How about Cmore to CJ1 ? If so, does it "just work " (no tweaking)?

My C-more program is a single page with a single indicator whose tag is linked to IO 2.00 on the Omron which is a blinking output (1s on, 1s off).

C-more EA7-T8C Settings

Station/Unit 1

192.168.0.6

255.255.255.0

Omron CJ2M PLC Settings

Station/Unit 0

192.168.0.1

255.255.255.0

In the FINS Settings, when I select Conversion Auto (Dynamic), I get the PLC not connected timeout error on the C-more. When I select Conversion Auto (Static), I get a PLC-485 0x2108 error across the top of the Cmore which is not covered in the Omron FINS etherent error list in the C-more panel manual. There is a 2108 error in the serial FINS driver error list but not sure if they would correlate since other similar error numbers between the two FINS driver types do not. So it looks like the Cmore is trying to talk to the PLC, but something is not quite right causing the 2108 error. I'm searching for Omron FINS docs for a description of the 2108 FINS error.

For Destination IP Address:

Changed dynamically gives 2108 error

Not changed dynamically gives 2108 error

ENT11 compatible gives PLC timeout error

Does anyone see anything obvious in my settings or my programming thought process above?

I will be trying our new EA9-T8CL when it arrives in the next day or so but I'm not holding out too much hope as the Omron CJ driver is probably the same.
